The map of the most dangerous roads in Italy in the ACI report shows a drop in fatal accidents compared to 2019, despite increased mobility compared to the pandemic years
November 22nd
What were the most dangerous roads in Italy in 2021? The answer is in the Aci report with the map of road accidents which annually shows the most dangerous roads and the most affected categories. In 2021 the situation improves compared to 2019 given the drop in both accidents and deaths (5,119 fewer accidents, 179 deaths). The urban motorway sections are confirmed as those with the highest density of accidents due to the high traffic flows and the plurality of vehicles present. The urban penetration of the A24 Rome-Teramo registers 10 accidents per km, the northern ring road of Milan 8.8 accidents per km in the Monza/Brianza section, the Capodichino A1 branch in the province of Naples with 8.1 accidents per km; these are the roads on which the most accidents occur, while for the motorway network the national average is 1.03 accidents per km.
